After Advani, now Sushma Swaraj to skip BJP rally

Just as BJP president Nitin Gadkari seemed to have managed to bring together all discordant pieces - the Modi crisis over, BS Yeddyurappa arriving in Mumbai - his party's show of unity is coming undone again. Mr Gadkari and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will share stage at a key rally in Mumbai, to be attended by all BJP chief ministers in a show of strength, but the party's senior-most leader L K Advani will not be present. Neither will top leader Sushma Swaraj.
